Made in Hollywood

Not doing evil for money, but happy to see his philosophical victory - the corruption of human nature and the destruction of the world, in his words "chaos".

There is no doubt that the Joker is a 'great criminal by definition.

And after the filming started, Heath Ledger's outstanding performance was the best interpretation of the role of the clown.

With the in-depth shooting and continuous communication with Duke after shooting every day, his condition is getting better and better.

Heath Ledger showed the Joker's crazy side while also interpreting him as a "great criminal mastermind."

The focus of the clown's plan is to exploit the weaknesses of human nature and exploit the loopholes in human nature itself. If these weaknesses were there, but in some dark place, then he tried his best to bring them to light, to make them manifest, and to push them to corrupt him further.

This set has been tried and tested even among gangsters. The robbers who carried out the robbery received orders to kill their companions after completing a certain procedure, and they did not miss the appointment. He always finds a reason for people to abandon the principles he already has, he commits crimes through people's own hands, and the consequences are left to bear.

Rachel's death became Batman's unspeakable pain and felt responsible for it; it also became a turning point in Harvey Dent's life.

With just a slight push from the clown, Harvey Dent stepped on the supreme law he once served. Heroes and gangsters are only one step away.

It is undeniable that in him, the background color of "two-faced person" has long been lurking.

Half a month after the filming of "The Dark Knight", seeing that Heath Ledger and Nicolas Cage were getting better and better, Duke also slightly changed the shooting plan and made a key scene between Harvey Dent and the Joker. put on the agenda.

In the studio set up as a ward, half of Nicolas Cage's face was put on a green screen, and the double-faced man wanted to show it vividly. It is not enough to rely only on traditional makeup, the most important thing is the post-production CGI special effects.

Heath Ledger on the other side put on a nurse's uniform with clown makeup, which made it even more bizarre.

When the two actors and departments were ready, Duke gave the order to start shooting, and Heath Ledger and Nicolas Cage were in really good shape. There were no accidents such as laughing scenes, and this crucial scene started with a bit of weirdness and seriousness.

Heath Ledger walked over to the hospital bed, took off his mask, and greeted with a very weird tone of guilt and embarrassment, "Hi..."

Nicolas Cage looked at the clown after taking off the nurse's mask. He was excited and angry when he was tied to the bed.

Heath Ledger sat directly on the chair beside the hospital bed. said, "Look, Harvey, I don't want to make our relationship unpleasant, you and that..."

Nicolas Cage shouted angrily. "Rachel, she's Rachel!"

"I was still in Gordon's prison when you and Rachel were kidnapped." Heath Ledger said plausibly, "I didn't do this."

Even with a thick clown costume. But Heath Ledger's expression at the moment seems to really have nothing to do with this matter. He is just an innocent.

Nicolas Cage looked at the clown with sharp eyes like a sharp sword, "That's your subordinate, your plan."

"Look at me, do you look like someone who works according to plan? Don't you know me yet? I'm like a dog chasing a car. I really catch up and don't know what to do next. I'm just, Doing for doing."

Under Heath Ledger's performance, these words seem so natural, "The gangsters have a plan, the police people have a plan, Gordon has a plan, you know, they are all planners and conspirators. Conspirators always It's about keeping your own little world in your hands. I'm not a conspirator, and I make those conspirators realize how pathetic they are trying to control everything. So when I say..."

He grabbed Nicholas Cage's hand and said, "Come on, don't be afraid, you know what I'm talking about when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend wasn't my personal grudge against anyone. It's all true."

Speaking of which, Heath Ledger released Nicholas Cage while continuing to say, "It was those conspirators who brought you to this point, you were once a conspirator, you have your own plans, and look at the results. , what do you plan to be like?"

Nicolas Cage wanted to attack Heath Ledger, but Harvey Dent, played by him, had just suffered a heavy blow and was subdued by the Joker in just a few strokes.

Looking at Duke's monitor, Heath Ledger was a little crazy and seemed to have really turned into a clown. He naturally said a set of theories of the clown, "I just did what I was good at, I Take advantage of your little plan and turn the tide."

"Look what I've done with this city with just a bit of gas and bullets? Huh? You know what that tells me? When it goes according to plan, no one panics, even if the plan It's creepy."

Under normal circumstances, such remarks would only feel ridiculous, but Nicolas Cage's Harvey Dent, who has just suffered a double blow, both physically and mentally, can't help but look thoughtful.

Heath Ledger continued, "If I told the press tomorrow, like 'I'm going to kill a juvenile offender' or 'Blow up a truckload of soldiers,' no one would panic because it was all part of the plan, but when When I said, 'There's that old old mayor who's going to die,' everyone lost their souls."

At this time, Heath Ledger was completely insane, he took out a revolver and handed it to Cage, "Introduce an anarchy, subvert the existing order, and then everything becomes chaos, I am the spokesperson of chaos, oh, you Do you know what chaos is? It's fair!"

Duke looked at the monitor slowly and stood up slowly, "Gtert! Heath, Nikolai, very well done!"

The two actors sat there and didn't move. They didn't seem to have left their roles. Duke didn't say anything. No one from the crew stepped forward to disturb them. After a few minutes, Nicolas Cage and Heath Ledger went to rest one after another. place.

Just as the two of them sat down, Duke shouted, "You guys did a great job just now, but I think you can do better, so take a 10-minute break and keep shooting!"

It took an entire afternoon to shoot the scene before Duke announced the end, and he picked three of the best out of them as material for post-production.

That's the end of the day's shooting, and while directing the crew to encrypt the footage, Duke heard someone say hello to him.

"Hi, Duke."

He turned his head to look, and Tina Fey walked over with two women, one big and one small. The two were so similar that at first glance, they looked like mother and daughter.

Duke reached out and shook hands with the two. "Hello, Julie."

The younger and older woman was Julia Roberts, a former Hollywood sister. After greeting Duke, she turned to introduce the younger woman next to her, "This is my niece Emma Roberts, and I'll accompany her. Exploring class."

"Explore?" Duke was a little strange.

"Eric Roberts." Tina Fey reminded in a low voice.

Duke immediately understood that it was the actor who played the gangster Maloney in the crew.

The two sides are just acquaintances, and Julia Roberts also jumped from Nancy Josephson's company to CAA a few years ago. They don't have much friendship with each other. Emma Roberts went to the makeup trailer to find Eric Roberts.

Duke and Tina Fey went out of the studio and found a battery car at random. Duke drove the car, and Tina Fey sat in the co-pilot and drove towards the gate of Warner Studios.

Maybe it's because women are naturally gossipy, and there's no one else here, Tina Fey asked Duke curiously, "It's been rumored that Emma Roberts is Julia Roberts' illegitimate daughter, is this true? ?"

"I don't know." Duke shook his head. "Apart from the Roberts family, I'm afraid no one else knows."

Hollywood and the tabloids have been rumored in this regard, in addition to Emma Roberts' bizarre background, it is also related to Julia Roberts' chaotic private life in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Although after Julia Roberts became a Hollywood superstar, everyone basically stopped mentioning her dark history, but this kind of inexplicable thing is still circulating in private.

Of course, in Duke's point of view, this possibility is not very big.

In terms of height alone, Emma Roberts doesn't seem to have inherited Julia Roberts' genes.

After changing the car, the topic of the two gradually turned to the "Dark Knight", especially the scene shot in the afternoon, which aroused a lot of curiosity of Tina Fei.

"I haven't read the full script yet," she said to Duke, sitting in the co-pilot, "but I saw some script clips in the afternoon, and the performances of Heath Ledger and Nicolas Cage, and found it a bit interesting. "

"Huh?" Duke turned the wheel, and the car pulled into the road to Malibu.

"The Joker just tells them that a loved one is facing some kind of threat, and these people easily break through their bottom line and take Harvey Dent in the Joker's direction," Tina Fey said, "and then get angry. Harvey Dante, who imposed this method on others, even his former partners, is it human nature?"

"On the face of it, this all holds true. In a life-or-death situation, it's understandable that one has to think about oneself first and foremost."

Duke speeded up a little and said casually, "Few of us have experienced such extreme situations, so it is difficult to imagine how and whether we would perform well in that situation. However, this forgiving thought quietly concealed The fact - what kind of power is this that can control people so precisely in its hands, like a gecko has its tail trampled on its tail, and has to give up a part of itself? People should recognize this kind of power Coercion to yourself?" (To be continued~^~)
